Privacy policy
Last updated: 11 November 2026
This policy covers the Windowsill Radio website (windowsill.stemx.app) and "Windowsill Radio Uploader", the tool that publishes videos to the Windowsill Radio YouTube channel (@windowsillradio).
Who uses the uploader
The uploader is used only by the operators of Windowsill Radio, signed in with the channel's own Google account. It is not offered to the public, and it does not access any other person's Google or YouTube account.
YouTube API Services
The uploader uses YouTube API Services. By using them it is bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
With the permissions granted by the channel account
(youtube.upload and youtube), the uploader:
- uploads the channel's own daily videos and Shorts, with their titles, descriptions, tags and publish times;
- sets the thumbnail of those videos;
- reads the channel's own name to confirm it is acting on the right channel.
It does not read, collect or store viewers' data, comments, subscriber lists or any information about other YouTube users.
What is stored, and where
The only account data stored is the OAuth refresh token for the channel account, which lets the uploader publish without signing in each day. It is kept encrypted in Google Cloud Secret Manager, readable only by the uploader's own service account, and is never shared with anyone. The videos themselves are produced by the channel and stored in the channel's Google Cloud Storage bucket for up to 60 days.
The website itself uses no cookies, analytics or tracking.
Sharing
No data obtained through YouTube API Services is sold, shared with third parties or used for advertising.
Revoking access
The channel account can revoke the uploader's access at any time from Google Account → Security → Third-party connections. When access is revoked, the stored refresh token stops working, and the operators delete it from Secret Manager.
